My daughters are grown and I haven’t watched Sesame Street in years, but oh, lordy..
IT is almost too perfect that the first African-American president of the United States was elected in time for the 40th anniversary of “Sesame Street.” The world is finally beginning to look the way that PBS show always made it out to be.
Would someone dial down the preening worship from eleven?
It’s still a messianic show, but the mission has shifted to the more immediate concerns of pediatricians and progressive parents, especially when it comes to childhood obesity. “Sesame Street” takes the Muppets, rhymes and visual verve that were developed to instill tolerance, racial pride and equality, to preach exercise and healthy eating.Put it this way, Mrs. Obama’s message on the anniversary episode isn’t an exhortation to future soldiers, scientists and presidents to be all that they can be, but to tiny consumers to eat the freshest food they can find. “Veggies taste so good when they come fresh from the garden, don’t they?” Mrs. Obama tells a rainbow coalition of children gathered around a soil tray, an echo of her White House kitchen garden. “If you eat all these healthy foods, you are going to grow up to be big and strong,” Mrs. Obama says, flexing her fists. “Just like me.”
Actually, the absolute best advice to give any parent about children’s television shows is this:
NONE.
Turn.off.the.tv.

“While the filming of the fresh food segment went off without a hitch there were some tense moments after the cameras stopped when Secret Service agents were forced to Taser Cookie Monster, who had attached himself to the First Lady’s ass. Crying, frightened children were hustled from the studio and comforted with baby carrot sticks while Big Bird stood in a corner and wailed ‘Seeds! What about SEEDS? BIRDST!!!’ Robert Gibbs later remarked that Cookie Monster had been ‘hyped up on sugar and several hours watching the Glen Beck show. This yet another example of the propensity for violence of those who watch Fox News and obese, intolerant right wing fringers with lousy dietary habits’ “

“Et tu” is not meet, I think.
Or things are simply upside-down in it, save for the implication of betrayal, which, though fit enough in itself isn’t yet enough to overcome the context of our receipt of the phrase, i.e., the conspiratorial betrayal of a trusting friend, acting in the name of the republic and liberty (he thinks) to commit an act of regicide. But Big Bird, standing in here for the power grabbing statists, isn’t presumably accused of acting in the name of the republic and liberty at all: quite the opposite. Hence, not meet.
Is it thus that old things are forgotten to be replaced by inadvertent, unintended error? Perhaps, though Brutus be ground in Satan’s gob forever.

You are correct happyfeet, and it’s just another example of how NPR and PBS needs to either be privatized or go subscription. There’s a whole lotta content out there and I don’t see why our tax dollars need to pay for slanted news-speak or redundant television programming.
It’s another case where the local areas can get the cable providers to supply extra bandwidth if they desire such programming; on the local access channels.

Nope Bob, neither, though I confess to liking the company of the ancients a bit more than I do the moderns.

guess i’ll just get high
no more stories of you
i guess they’re not into me
whatever, you suck
selling your body
not as easy as it looks
pimps are pretty harsh
in these trying times
why don’t we all take a break
and just stop trying
dawn breaks sweetly
rest of the day pretty
much downhill from there
to find a new lord
I will travel far by foot
And live by hard wood

Rather symbolic of the fondness that lefties have for finding poor neighborhoods with adorable housing stock and driving out all the poor people. Then their liberal conscience starts to kick in at precisely the point when their own start getting priced out because developers and realtors are wise to this gentrification pattern. Which sort of sums up why I think this post is much ado about nothing. The problem isn’t children being exposed to progressivism, the problem is that progressive adults are still children.

Protesters were arrested, one by one, and dragged out of his office amid chants of “Everyone in and noone out, universal healthcare now!” and “Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!”
The whole affair, from occupation to final arrest, lasted 40 minutes.”

Haiku is correct. Japanese nouns have no plural form. Hon = Book. Hon = books. Makes for some very interesting conversations.
Military personnel on bases are unarmed. A local cop killed the turd. Anyone is good when the herd has no fangs or teeth. Plus, he wasn’t just a guy with guns, he was military. He probably knew how to shoot.
Too bad he didn’t start with the voices in his head.

No wonder the Chiefs suck.
And a disgrace to the NFL? That is being redundant.

“Not a Convert [Andy McCarthy]
Fox has interviewed the shooter’s cousin, Nader Hasan, who says Nidal Malik Hasan was raised a Muslim — he is not a convert. I’d also note the anguish and shock in Nader Hasan’s voice; his family, the cousin says, is devastated.
Fox also reports that the other two men who were detained have been released.

Gah. This is my one year anniversary of coming home from Iraq. And I was going to celebrate tonight. Now I really don’t feel all that happy. @#$& it all.
I wish this SOB had done himself and left everyone else out of his @#%&.
